Didn't pay my phone bill, so got cut off yesterday. Have to do it from work. I'll just do some cut and paste work for lack of time.
Georges Hawi was murdered this morning in Wata El- Msaibeh, Beirut. His car was rigged and he died instantly. The images are so reminiscent of what happened to Samir Kassir. The car and his body are almost intact. His life was surgically ripped away.Georges Hawi, ex-director of the Lebanese Communist Party, has had a very long and rich history in all the trials and tribuations of this country. I will leave the obit. for those more knoweldgable.
Hawi, a Christian, frequently spoke out against Syrian intelligence and interference in Lebanese affairs, The Associated Press reported.
Hawi was related to an Armenian candidate who was standing for parliament in the national elections that finished on Sunday, Sadler said.
The bombing, which authorities said occurred about 10 a.m. (3 a.m. ET) in a western Beirut neighborhood, left Hawi's black Mercedes crumpled.
Witnesses and security sources said the car had just left a gas station and was traveling on a road when the bomb exploded.
Hawi's driver escaped with only minor injuries; police sources said the bomb apparently targeted Hawi, who was in the passenger seat.
